You make great points. When I asked for nominations for the list, the request was open to anyone. I didn’t pick based on language or country of origin. But it’s easy to see that the only people who saw my request were people who follow me or who follow them, if they retweeted it. So that could easily limit who wound up on the list.
There are so many more people who deserve highlighting that I’d encourage anyone who is so moved to make another list (or more) and make any process improvements they see fit.
That’s what motivated me initially, after seeing other lists go by. I’m happy to provide my learnings to help, but it’s also a lot of work, FWIW.
